Overview
Time Period: Begins 1838 In 1838, Nellie
Starr, a young Cherokee girl, is caught in the political upheaval
of America’s westward expansion. Forced by U.S. soldiers to leave
their home in Tennessee, Nellie, her family, and thousands of other
Cherokees travel the long, dangerous “Trail of Tears” to a new home
in the Indian Territory of modern-day Oklahoma. Using actual
historical events as a backdrop, this brand-new children’s novel
teaches lessons of American history and the Christian faith. Can
Nellie learn to forgive the people who’ve turned her world upside
down? Nellie the Brave is a compelling read for girls ages eight to
twelve.
